Results from Maxing out in the Bench Press Every Day

from The Strength Log · host Daniel Richter & Philip Wildenstam

Ten years ago we got an awesome study on powerlifters and weightlifters maxing out in the squat daily. Now, a group of physical therapy students have replicated that study, but in the bench press instead. You read that right. Bench press. Maxing out. Every day for more than a month. Plus back-off sets. That's a lot of bench pressing. But did they die? Super fun study and lots to talk about. Afterwards, around 25 minutes in, we discuss Daniel's results from a 6-week cycle of our training program Squat Samba. Did he set a new lifetime PR? *** Do you like what you hear so far?
